Hi John I'm not sure why you think that there may be an attitude problem on
my behalf. AD doesn't disrupt the program or the quality of the viewing so
it's not to much to ask for it to be turned on. If I was the sighted member
in my family then I would switch it on with out any objections.

My Parents bought a Techwood TV from Morisons, 32 inch I think and it
also

has audio description. Never heard about it before that so a nice bit
of
luck there. I haven't had much to do with it though as it is a family
TV

and I don't think AD would go down well with everyone.

If you want audio description then all sony and Panasonic models have
this

built in although they rarely say so in the product descriptions even on
their own websites. I've just spent quite some time confirming this with
both companies.

Subject: [access-uk] PURCHASING A TELEVISION
Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a TV and am at a loss regarding accessibility.
Can anyone point me in the direction of guides re what to look out
for, from the point view of accessibility when purchasing a
television? I want something capable of receiving free-view with
controls/remote control which isn't a nightmare to navigate
around.
Any suggestions gratefuly received.
Thanks,
Kevin
